A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to monitor physiological indicators such as ventilation and oxygenation in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) who are placed in the prone position. It seeks to identify trends in these indicators to determine their predictive value for patient prognosis. The study will focus on the relationship between ventilation/perfusion ratios and patient outcomes, particularly in the context of mechanical ventilation. By analyzing these changes, the research hopes to provide insights into which patients may benefit from prone positioning.

• Driving pressure-guided individualized PEEP vs standard PEEP during upper abdominal surgery

  In this randomized trial, adults at higher risk of breathing problems after upper abdominal surgery will try a personalized PEEP level based on the lowest driving pressure and compare it to a fixed PEEP of 5 cmH2O to see if it lowers postoperative lung complications.
